Wollogorang Airport (WLL)

Wollogorang Airport serves one of Australia's most significant cattle stations, spanning 7,057 square kilometers across the Northern Territory-Queensland border with 80 kilometers of Gulf of Carpentaria coastline. The 4,199-foot runway supports the massive pastoral operation that manages 30,000 head of Brahman cattle across eight main paddocks, representing the longest continuously occupied property in the Northern Territory since 1883. Aviation services are essential for station operations, including cattle mustering, property management, veterinary services, and transportation to this remote location 500 kilometers northwest of Cloncurry. The airport operates alongside comprehensive station infrastructure including a hangar, equipment capable of processing over 3,000 head of cattle, and modern facilities that reflect over $7 million in recent upgrades. Seasonal conditions significantly impact operations, with the wet season from November to April potentially affecting runway conditions and cattle movement activities. The station's proximity to both live export and domestic cattle markets makes aviation access crucial for livestock transport coordination and market operations. Emergency services rely on the airport for medical evacuations and fire suppression in this vast, isolated Gulf country region. Flight planning should consider CTAF frequency 125.700 MHz and account for significant distances to alternate airports. The airstrip's remote location requires careful fuel planning, with no aviation fuel services on-site necessitating self-sufficiency for aircraft operations. Extreme heat conditions during the dry season can affect aircraft performance and require early morning departure times for optimal safety margins.
